It turned out I had enough of the material to level up my weapon three times and then the boss fight was no problem. This wasn’t the game’s fault.Īfter the tutorial I was rushing to play the game that I didn’t speak to the NPCs and learn some of the basic systems of the game.
Ys vita how to#
I had been collecting the materials needed to upgrade my weapon but I hadn’t noticed how to do it. I looked online and realised I hadn’t been upgrading my weapon. I grinded to level up but I still couldn’t beat him. I got to a point with the fourth boss where I was doing barely any damage and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. You need to explore the tower and look for upgrade materials and new armour or you’ll eventually hit a wall like I did. You can try and rush through each level, look for the key and move on but this would be a mistake. There would be a story scene with some of the bosses, but the approach to the game did feel a bit formulaic at times. This game feels in many ways like an old-school action game and it feels very natural to press X to jump and square to attack.Įach level is split up so that you travel through a couple of floors of enemies in the tower, search for the key and unlock the area with the boss before moving on to the next floor. It was very easy to pick up and get to grips with the controls. Attacking from a distance with Hugo did make him feel like the easiest of the three characters to play as but the game was generally fair in terms of difficulty provided you explore the levels properly. Since the basic controls are the same, I didn’t feel like the three protagonists were that different to play as. Charging towards a group of enemies and throwing a fire spell at them while hitting them with your melee weapon is a lot of fun. Yunica attacks with an axe getting close to enemies, Hugo shoots magic lasers to attack from a distance and claw uses his… well claw. The protagonists are small sprites in the screen that can run, jump, attack and cast spells. Ys Origin is an action RPG although at times it feels like an old-school action 3D platformer. I would have preferred to have his story unlocked from the beginning, because it felt like the developers are forcing players to play their game for over 20 hours before you can even start the “real” story. The bosses are still the same (although there is a new final boss), but there is more context to the actions of the characters and his perspective is far more interesting than the other two.
There are some new twists with Hugo’s story but I was hoping for a completely different story with different bosses and that wasn’t the case.Ĭlaw’s story is the most interesting of the three and is the only one that is canon to the Ys series. The start of their stories are exactly the same as are most of the journey and bosses. I was disappointed when I started Hugo’s story and realised it’s essentially the same story but with a different protagonist. She is a fun character to play as and seeing her determination shine through the text on the screen made me like her more. I played Yunica’s story first and really enjoyed it. I enjoyed playing with and getting to know the different characters although it did feel repetitive playing Yunica and Hugo’s stories back to back. Yunica is an optimistic, novice warrior that is desperate to prove herself, Hugo is calm and intelligent but occasionally cold and after you complete the game with Yunica and Hugo you can play as the mysterious Claw.
There are three protagonists in the game with their own take on the story. The goddesses had gone to the Devil’s Tower and the warriors entered the Tower to find them and return them to their floating city. A team of warriors is sent to the surface to locate them. One night, the goddesses mysteriously disappeared. In order to reach the people of Ys, the demons began erecting a massive tower – the Devil’s Tower. To protect the people of Ys, the two goddesses, Reah and Feena, raised part of the land to the sky where it floated for years. The game starts off telling you that the world of Ys has become overrun by demons. Ys Origin is a game where the gameplay is so good that graphics stopped mattering to me. After the initial 10 minutes of talking and tutorial, I was finally let loose on the game and instantly my opinion changed. Also from seeing trailers for Ys VIII, I was disappointed that the game looked so old-school as if it were a game from the original Playstation. I’ve never played an Ys game before so I didn’t have an early investment in the story. My first thoughts when I started playing Ys Origin were: this game’s graphics look pretty bad and there was too much text and time spent at the beginning on conversations and exposition.
